The posts on this blog are incredibly old. The fact this is on Blogpost tells you a lot about the era when CritBuns was born. Weebly and Squarespace weren't even companies yet. Enjoy browsing the history that follows, and follow more recent movement on my site at http://www.joegebbia.com

I too came here after hearing the podcast, which was incredibly entertaining and inspiring. I almost bought a pair of critbuns out of support for you, but realized I would waste them, so instead I leave this kudos comment! Nice to see an entrepreneur who is so grounded, keep it up and spread the good word.

Me three on the podcast. I'm from Austin and working with a startup that also hopes to capitalize on the popularity of SXSW (Black Fret. Look it up...seriously...please). I wish I'd found the critbuns while I was still in art school, but they sadly came out a few years after graduation. I plan to use my pair for house concerts and camping. Gracias!

Joe, just found this after listening to your interview with Tim Ferriss. Rad story, super psyched to hear it and thanks for sharing. Stoked to pick up CritBuns if they come back in stock, we could use a set around the office at times. Cheers! Nik @ Paleo Treats

Why CritBuns?

CritBuns is the brainchild of designer and entrepeneur Joe Gebbia, and originated during his days as a design student. The buns were born through observation, inspiration, and persistence to see an idea through to completion. Frustrated by the lack of design on the market for a simple seat cushion, Joe brought his own perspective to create a new one altogether. He started with the problem: long, uncomfortable art critiques spent sitting on hard surfaces, and answered with a solution: a unqiuely designed, portable foam seat cushion.
